Churches and temples in Cincinnati
This tour visits places of worship, among them churches, cathedrals, synagogues, temples and chapels. Congregations still use many of them and access depends on the hours they keep.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1819 to 1868. 10 stops, 2.2 miles end to end. One stop is a National Historic Landmark.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.

Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed September 19, 2026.
